It sounds like Mubarak's speech last night came as a surprise to even the Egyptian military. Maybe the CIA really did have reliable information from inside the Egyptian military that Mubarak was supposed to leave last night. If that's the case, it's not as massive an intelligence failure on the part of the U.S. as we thought. It seems to me the events on the ground have been moving quite rapidly and the Obama administration has been doing its best to keep up with them.
